The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Brede questions
Is Brede close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Brede?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we will respond.
Do you do charity events?
Get in touch.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, events in Brede stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
